Churchyard And Hawke

An exciting novel of the early days of the Cornwall Constabulary. After taking a serious beating whilst engaged in unofficial undercover work in the murky streets and taverns of London's 19th century slums Constable Tom Churchyard takes himself to Cornwall. Here in spite of his injuries he becomes right-hand man to Amos Hawke now a senior Cornish policeman. His knowledge of the London rogues proves invaluable as Amos seeks to foil a gang of city thieves whose plan is to plunder the mansions of the Cornish gentry. When a brutal murder is committed during their investigations it proves far more complex than appears at first glance.
